Four Leaves Two Buds One Dragonfly

This is another image that I have captured from the Singapore Botanical Gardens during my visits last year.
The colours and pattern of the subject are all natural. The only thing that I am demonstrating here is my perception of an ordinary place but full of photographic potentials. This image is also served as sample of the effectiveness of top lighting condition. A polarizer was utilized to minimize the reflection of the water and increased the saturation of the colours.

Distinctive Architectural Design

It is interesting to know that the architectural design of the Sydney Opera House, NSW, Australia was inspired from slices of oranges and not (as commonly thought), on sails. One of the images that I captured during my visit in September 2003, was a long tele shot (250 mm Telyt lens on Leicaflex SL) of this distinctive design. The evening light has provided me with a nice touch of orange glow for this fabulous place. The darkened cloud-patterned sky in contrast, enhanced the image with even greater visual impact.

Waves of Cottesloe Beach

Cottesloe Beach, Western Australia was selected as the Best Beach of the Year for 2003. The attractions there, are more than just sand beach and waves. As a matter of fact, this place has lots of photographic potential if you happen to be a photographer! During my visit in November 2003, I was attracted by the strong waves from the sea. Will feature more images of this beach on this web later.
